ATI Capstone Week 9 Exam Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has type 2 diabetes mellitus and notes the client is declining. Which of the following would indicate the client is in a hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS)?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Glucose level of 650 mg/dL. In HHS, blood glucose levels are typically very high (>600 mg/dL), leading to severe dehydration. This can result in neurological symptoms and altered mental status. Hypertension (
A) can be present but is not specific to HHS. Fruity breath (
B) is more indicative of diabetic ketoacidosis (DK
A), not HHS. Ketosis (
C) is seen in DKA, not HHS.
Therefore, the key indicator for HHS is extremely high blood glucose levels.
